today we went to our first step up concert with a difference, for the first time the dancers got to watch their concert at the same time as everyone else! due to the threats looming of lockdown and restrictions, our studio owners came up with an idea that would alleviate the risk of anything going wrong and our end of year concert being cancelled at the last minute. the entire concert was filmed piece by piece and joined together, and the dancers got to watch it all - on the big screen at ace cinemas in midland. they honestly thought it was the coolest thing ever and to be honest, so did we!
this little champion took home the mckinney family perpetual ballet excellence award and i am so damn proud of her. she always puts in 110% for dance and it's paid off - and look at that smile! all the perpetual trophy winners were notified a few hours before and asked to arrive early to walk the red carpet and have their photo taken with miss kylie and miss jacqui. i didn't tell her and when they greeted her with her trophy she was blown away. it was the best.
the show went well and these two loved it, pointing out their best shots and the dances they liked the best. i really, really loved that they got to see it at the same time as us, it was just so fun for them.
and madison got a class trophy too so of course then we had to have more photos on the red carpet. i love their friendship, it's the best thing ever. lucky madison has a cool mum too, so i scored as well.
well, this concert done differently, was certainly a hit! oh and we won the raffle too. a beauty pack. score! what a night.
this girl is definitely going places... i guess we just have to sit back and watch!
****************************
(edied to add:) the best bit? we booked our seats at the first concert screening of two, and a few days before concert screening two? lockdown. thank goodness we got in when we did, as the second one never went ahead. what a blessing that we got our turn. now we just wait on the dvd so madeline and madison can watch it on repeat. send help.
